Dear Books

Dear Books,

Thanks for all the information you gave me throughout these years. It’s really helped me. I still remember when I got you, even though you were small. But you were heavy because of all the pages you were made of and it was a pain to carry you all the way.

Dear books. By Basel Al Sheakh Ali. I still remember your smell. It was like paper.

At times I really hated you because I had to memorize all your information to pass my classes. But I still like how useful you were, even though you made me so anxious and I wanted to rip you up, especially during exams.

I’m sorry I left you behind. It wasn’t easy for me. I regret that I left you, but it’s too late to get you back.

Still after all, I thank you. Without you, I wouldn’t be the person I am now.

Love, Mohammad Kamal
